I'm not sure how you superhero types do it with your workout routines. More than five situps and I call it quits.

I have so many things to be grateful for this year. I never thought I would see a time that's so open minded about people and lifestyle choices. I am grateful to live in this world, even if it took me away from mine.

So here it is.

I'm gay.

And I'm an alien.

I don't care who knows it anymore.

So, now that we're back to our regular selves, I'd like to formally and officially invite anyone who doesn't have a place to go this Thanksgiving to the Sam-Brooke-Sookie Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

We realize that being away from home can be really lonesome especially during the holidays. So, please, don't be shy. If you're alone or haven't been invited to a Thanksgiving feast yet, feel free to pass by. We'll be buying plenty of food for everyone.

If there's anything to be thankful for this year, it's the kindness and friendship of others. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :)

Private to Sookie and Brooke

So... Thanksgiving. Sorta feels weird not being at home for it. What do you think we should do for it?

Anyone else missing their families right about now?

Sam?

I don't suppose any of y'all have seen Susan, or Juliette? I was almost hoping that they'd been made into zombies so that they'd show up when it all got done with. It doesn't seem like it they're here after all.

[Private to Liv and Faith]
Is Hayley doing any better? I ain't gonna need a bodyguard any time soon, am I?

Oh my God, has anyone seen Eliza? It's like she just disappeared, and all her stuff is gone! Could the zombies have come in the middle of the night and taken her away?

I don't know about y'all, but I'm getting tired of smelling death in the air.

Rachel.

NW Raleigh St

There's only one way into this end of the street unless the zombies decide to go hiking through Macleay Park. If someone wants to help me clear out the ones that are already here I can put up a fence by that intersection to keep them out. They don't really look like they could figure out a gate latch.

Chase

Are you safe? How effective are your fistigons against them?

Caleb

Are you using magic against these things? What works best?

Hypothetically speaking... if there are a bunch of zombies outside our house trying to get in, what should we hypothetically do to not get zombified? Hypothetically...



And by us, I mean, four unarmed and pretty normal human girls....

Private to Brooke, Sookie and the new girl, Eliza

Guys, I had to come down to the newsroom to cover for someone for a couple of hours. Sorry Brooke. I swear I'm okay, and I'll be sure to stay in contact with you guys as I'm heading home but.... You have to know something.

The city is being blockaded. No one is allowed in or out, because this virus is spreading fast. And there's something else too... We're getting a bunch of different reports of corpses disappearing from mortuaries and funeral homes all over the city. A mortician claims she was working on a body one minute, turned around to get a scalpel, and when she turned back, it was gone. GONE!



I'm kinda freaking out here.

Private to Seth aka the zombie believer

I stand corrected. Zombies are real.

I don't want anyone to be alarmed but I stayed up for 48 hours watching Romero and Romero inspired movies.

We may be in trouble. Superheroes assemble! Headshots and decapitation. I consider myself an expert so feel free to come and seek my expertise, preferably in costume. I'm Seth Cohen by the way.

ETA This message was meant for SUPERHEROES. If you're not super please don't pick up a gun and shoot people. Thank you!

Sookie, Sam McP, Brooke, Dani

Hey, I'm Nico, I live at 2904 and I was thinking since they're recommending people stay home if they don't have to work I should probably buy a pile of groceries. You guys are basically my closest neighbours and Dani I know you have other shit to deal with so I figured I might as well see if any of you needed anything too, just to save trips or whatever. I've got magic so there's not really much of a limit on how much I can carry. I'll probably go first thing in the morning, so, just let me know.

Karolina, Molly

If any of us starts feeling sick we should make sure the others know, right?

Love you guys.

Unsurprisingly, Sammy, you have awful fashion sense.

Would anyone from this decade like to go shopping with me? I cannot wear hospital scrubs for another day.

... Sam? Why am I in Portland? Am I dreaming?

Yeah, so, Dani and I kinda got married yesterday. Surprise?

Anyway, we're gonna have a reception at the Teardrop for everyone who wants to come or whatever. We'll probably just do it Thursday and combine it with karaoke. Let's face it, Berry will be trying to sing anyway, so why not just make it easier (and less annoying) on everyone?

So, okay. I have a friend who's a little shy and he doesn't know I'm doing this. So don't hold it against him because he's not appearing to be confident or whatever. He is, I just do what I want. Don't blame. Anyway, he's done angsting and just wants to have a good time and I, for one, think he deserves it. So, if you're a single and want something meaningless, meet Adam. What can I say? Not much because it doesn't matter. He needs a special sexy friend, not someone to make deep connections with. Don't be shy ladies. Anyway, I'll pick and choose who I think Adam would actually want to get down with, so come on. Let's have it.

And don't worry boys, if you're looking for something meaningless as well and don't have high expectations this is Cassie. First come first serve.

ATTENTION SINGLE LADIES

I would like to introduce you to Gale Hawthorne, who is in desperate need of a lady friend so he can have an actual social life. He's smart, helpful, kind, and knows about 50 different ways to make traps and snares. He also likes puppies and helps little old ladies across the street. I have seen it happen.



Look at this face. It is an attractive face. And you can see it every day if you want. Just submit your applications to me. Please include:

Name
Age
Hobbies
Willingness to explain 21st century technology and culture to somebody who'd never eaten ice cream before

Applications will be open until an appropriate candidate can be found.

Despite not actually wanting to move to Portland, things here are beginning to settle nicely. Merlyn Consulting Group is officially in operation and has a small (but growing) portfolio of clients, Thea has secured a position for herself, and the alterations to the interior of the house are coming along nicely.

However, I don't know why a random teenager swore at me online. Honestly? I don't really care. I suppose just like back home, Social Media is full of miscreants and imbeciles with nothing better to do with their time.
